For those who are struggling with tragedy/loss...


Recommended Posts

Yesterday, I received news that the grown daughter (Camilla) of a friend had narrowly escaped death but the friend she was with had died.For sake of brevity, I will not go into great detail: They were walking on a country road, it was dark. They thought they were a safe distance from the road...walking single file for extra safety. As a truck passed it hit Camilla's elbow) she reeled checked her arm for damage and became aware her friend (Lisa) was being dragged under the truck. The driver did not see the young women, it was dark. Police could find no evidence that the truck had left the road...we will never know how/why it happened. They took Lisa off life support last night, her brain never showed any activity. If anyone reading this has had an experience of tragedy/loss, please read on.

I subscribe to a blog "A Holy Experience" by Ann Voskamp (author of A Child's Geography) . I had fallen behind in reading the daily entries. Today, I was stunned by the topics this week. Since the most recent entries are at the top of the page, please scroll down to Monday and start there. I hope her meditations on loss

can be a comfort to anyone else who might be suffering

right now.
